... weight. I've lost 25 lbs on my own over the last 9 months but have reached a peak. I need to lose about 50 more lbs. I'm afraid to start the med because of all the warnings on thyroid cancer. It says if the risk outweigh the benifits to not take med. What are other peoples experiences?
My Doctor wants me to start Victoza because I'm insulin resistant and having a hard time losing?

Maybe you should seek a second opinion, trying to lose 50 lbs is not at all funny, it would take a lot of effort, nevertheless it can be done you would have to go on strict diet & do a lot of exercise, I would recommend walking maybe around 30km a week would be good.
Take care, best wishes, I did it knocked around 60 lbs of weight in about 16 months.

I've been getting to the gym about 3 days a week and working out about an hour. I've seen a dietitian and eating a strick diet. This Victoza is her idea. And my doctor agreed it was a good idea. . . . I just want to make sure I do all my research.
Great, do keep all the people in the loop, specially your doc, he/ahe is the most important link.
Take care, best wishes!
